August in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge

I never knew I would love sewing with orange until I joined in with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge a few years ago!  I didn't have many orange scraps until just recently, after purposely adding some orange fat quarters to my stash a few at a time. 

That being said, I had to look back at all my August posts to see what I sewed in orange this month!

I made a few more orange bowties to help in finishing up my bowtie quilt top.



I also added to my rainbow WiPs - Squared Away, Scrappy Sprouts, and Tiny Rails.


And then I remembered that I hadn't pulled out my Floral Sawtooth Stars blocks in awhile.  There isn't any red in the fat quarter bundle of Bloom and Blush that I'm using for this project, so I didn't play with these July.  But there is lots of orange, especially this piece, which is one of my favorites - 

I like the little orange flowers, but also the subtle orange background!

So, one more Sawtooth Star has been added to the collection!



Cheers to orange - hope you've enjoyed an August in orange, too!  

Linking up with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday!

    orange is one color I do not have much of - I would have to look and see if I am low on others too!

    You've made some very fun and pretty blocks. I don't sew much with orange, but it's a nice bright accent. Hopefully my blocks will get done tonight so I can share them in the morning.

    Love the orange, and that Blush & Bloom is gorgeous! All your blocks are really pretty.

    I have a lot more orange in my stash than I ever remember buying - every time I look at it I think wow, when did I get all that!

    Oo, the B&B floral is so pretty! It looks great as a sawtooth center. I hope we see more of that fabric :)

    That floral fabric is so sweet. I had only 2 small scraps of orange for the RSC August. I'm finally catching up and hope to be current this weekend. Evidently, I don't sew orange very much. I did find some FQ's to cut up some scraps. Sad, I know. All of your blocks are coming along nicely.

    I think I am done with my orange blocks for the month. It was nice you discovered another project to fill the void this week. I just hope I get through the week without starting something new :)

    Seeing all your orange blocks makes me sorry I didn't have more orange projects myself this month! The Floral Sawtooth Stars are looking great!

    I love those Floral Sawtooth Stars. Will we see some smaller ones in the future for a border? I see a stray!

    Oh, I thought I’d commented on this earlier.... so sorry! I’m glad that you’re loving orange - it’s such a happy color. And those sawtooth stars are so yummy!! That’s a cute fabric line, but I really love your orange scraps!!
